first of all, what do you make of the developments when it comes to ben kruidbos, does it make a difference? >> it doesn't make a difference as far as the verdict at this point. the jury's not going to stop deliberating. the judge is not going to announce a mistrial right now, but i think in terms of an appeal certainly it could have some sort of effect. we know the defense has complained of discovery violations from the very beginning and they claim that they did not have enough time to authenticate some of the text messages and pictures on trayvon martin's phone and they wanted to enter that into evidence, so i suspect if there's a conviction they're going to say the outcome of the trial would have changed if we had been given that information earlier, if we had the opportunity to, you know, sort of dig deeper into it and they're going to appeal this case. >> yeah. i'm reading the letter that was sent. >> yes, i have it with me. >> and it's saying, you know, they didn't find this, because he testified and they said that he did a poor job of overseeing the information, the technology depar

ben, i hear you laugh ing. you know what i'm about to say. yesterday, quote, i am no longer convinced a u.s. strike on syria will yield a benefit to the u.s. that will not be greatly outweighed by the extreme cost of war. ben, i hear you on politics. chris, not everyone is up for re-election. there is a possibility that even after these members of congress, you know, come out of these classified briefings, they still don't know what to think. >> well, i mean, i think this is obviously a very complex issue. i think we've all kind of accepted that reality. i think what makes this more difficult is with respect to people look at this and they say, well, do we really want another middle east war? and this notion of who is the opposition. is there an opposition that we can get behind. those, i think, make it very difficult for these members of congress, i think, to come to some kind of clear, defining position. when you add in the element, i can tell you having worked up on the hill, and sat there every day waiting and wondering what the phone cou
